The right line at around 250-300cfs.

It's a little tough to get lined up due to the lack of features leading to the drop, but the water is slack enough at this level to give you plenty of time to adjust. The slot at the top gets tight at the bottom and ends with a hole that doesn't look all that friendly. The rapid is blasted so the rock is a tad on the sharp side. All in all a surprisingly fun drop!
